Texts only help if one is basing them on the scriptural definition of what constitutes a believer. One is either in the Kingdom or is not in the Kingdom. Baptism has always been from the beginning the entrance into the Kingdom. Peter makes this clear in his sermon at Pentecost. Acts...

First, none of the texts point to a condition of one losing salvation. In this life we have no quarantee of salvation. We don't possess it in the past tense. It is something that is being held as an inheritance, I Pet 1:3-5. The whole scripture is about abiding in ones faith. As long as...

And just how does this answer my statement?

Why is the NT filled with texts exhorting believers to remain faithful, to be obedient. If one believes that you have some kind of security the NT could be cut down to just a few chapters. You will not find a single text where a living individual is ascribed as being "saved" in one's...

To say that eternal security exists also implies that there might be opposition to the concept, as you state. So, how does scripture teach two different concepts? For either side, on what basis are you determining who is a believer?

Historically, all false teachings, until the Protestant Reformation, came from within the Church. Paul warned the early Church to watch for false teachers, including those of his day. This is why it is very easy to spot false teachings because they have never been believed from the beginning...

At least you admitted it is simply your opinion. None of your responses have ever been the Gospel Truth. You deny the creation story as scripture states. You have an unscriptural concept of the fall of man. You have no idea how God saved the world from destruction, in fact you think...

Your response has nothing to do with my statement. You don't cite any scripture to show what you say would correct what I stated. Where do you think it comes from? Never stated nor implied it was a current reality. If the context is I Cor 15:21-22 it is every single human being. At least...

Wow, your theology just amazes me. So you make God the creator of sin, which is not a thing, but an act or an ommision of an act. God did not create Adam or this creation mortal. Why would God create something to be eternal, call it good, then also create the means to destroy His own...

In answer to your question regarding spiritual death of Christ. It did not happen. I do not mind the questions. I have been on and off boards since early 2000's. There are people who will argue for their view over several other views, all claiming that they are correct. Logic says only one...

That is your error in understanding the meaning of words and context,. Check the meaning of quickened? Yes, they were otherwise they would not be in hell. They would no longer exist.

So you just disregard scripture to the contrary.

Yes, for the purpose of ridding our mortal natures of sin. So they can be raised immortal. Heb 9:27. You really have a very difficult time understanding theology. No but everyone was raised by His Spirit from the dead. The context here is Paul is speaking to and about believers. That does...

Well, what can I say. Scripture disagrees again with your statement. Rev 20: 13 is the Great Whsite Thone judgement. All the dead,not some of the dead, stand before Him, and books were opened. And another book is opened, the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works...

No, Adam was not created mortal. God permitted it out of mercy to mankind and His creation. you got the idea that the sting of death is sin. That is true for every human born. But it was not true for Adam. He brougth death to the world. Sin condemns anyone who does not confess their sins...

Apparently, you are not well read when it comes to historical Christianity. We have been discussing only one thing and that is the Humanity of Christ or the Incarnation. Roman Catholics may have a different view because they accepted Augustines doctrine of Original Sin. they also accepted the...

To be regenerated to a new relationship with Christ that has eternal consequences. It is accomplished through baptism and enters one into the Kingdom of God. It is referring to the second death which is permanent relational separation from God for an eternity. This is taken from Eph 2:1-5. It...

So quick to name names when your view does not align with another. If you must know I am an Orthodox Christian. Definitely not a denomination.

Where is this stated in scripture. He died both, physical and spiritual. But spiritual in scripture is always in relation to our spiritual relationship with Christ. In scripture there are two deaths and two resurrection. They correspond to physical and spiritual. Spiritual death occured by...

OK, He was created. I'm glad you agree with the rest of the paragraph.
